White, 28-38, warm, verbal, creative, perceptive, elegant, sexual, subtle, self-defined, memorable eyes, bouncy hair, musical voice, honest about her shortcomings, not too driven, values appearance but doesnā€™t judge by it, no use for a stereotypical alpha male, had it with the rat race and wants something real. ---

> [@ArrMatey!](#): > > **Susie** , understand that if it were not for my aforemade post, Iā€™d be all over finding out more. šŸ™‚ Aww, thanks! Funny thing is, I am also in the middle of taking some time for myself. Feel free to get up with me in a year or so, though. šŸ˜‰ ---

Back in The Day, before I got married, I envisioned that my ā€œperfect mateā€ would have the following qualities: -Be left-handed (Iā€™m ambidextrous myself.) -Have a mustache (I really donā€™t like kissing a man with a mustache, but I donā€™t like the appearance of hairless menā€™s faces, either.) -Be able to speak French. (I am fluent in French, and I wanted a mate who could understand me when I started rambling along in French.) None of the men I dated before meeting Mr. Kiminy met more than one of these criteria. The American and Canadian men met _none_ of them. A Moroccan that I almost married met _one_ of them. (I met him when I was living in France. He didnā€™t speak English, I didnā€™t speak Arabic, but we both spoke French. However, he was devotedly right-handed and clean-shaven.) Mr. Kiminy met all three criteria, even before I met him. Part of me wonders if I simply had some kind of precognition about the person I would marry, or if I was truly just looking for someone with all three traits. ---

I would say,ā€œSurprise me,ā€ but thatā€™s probably not a good idea. Unfortunately, I canā€™t describe the perfect mate for me. What I think is perfect right now may not be perfect for me later, or may in fact not be perfect or even good for me. I trust, however, that the goddess of love knows what sheā€™s doing. Soā€¦ surprise me. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Human or humanoid. English-speaking preferred. Female, manifested as vulva, curvy hips, clitoris, etc. Has a wide range of interests and passions and is involved in projects and whatnot. Has lusts, finds me yummy. Preferably has history of lovers and/or several current ones and is neither seeking permanence nor breeding opportunity at the moment, but likes companionship and warmth and someone to play with and giggle with and unwind with. Extra points for willful personality and, (paradoxically?) extra points for being brave/willing enough to be vulnerable to things. Sensitive to _me_ being vulnerable to things. Accepting of my stubbornness. Likes our time together and values it highly but doesnā€™t let her life revolve around it and is not seeking a relationship to define her life. ---
